"Master, you're so leisurely, don't you have to do anything?" "Ha, aren't I just playing with you?" In the afternoon, Li Chen played a softball with the children, several big ones did not participate, they like to play Keju, Li Chen first accompanied the little one to play softball, and then accompanied the big one to play Keju. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Softball, it's similar to baseball, but it's softer to play, at least that's how he sees it. The ball is big, the stick is big, and the speed is slow. Keju is more intense, and I always feel more suitable for older children.

After playing for a while, he rested, although he continued to exercise, but not as energetic as the child, after playing for a while, he let them play by themselves, as a side rest, and then his sixth son, Li Run, ran over and said this to him.

"You play with us and do things?" "It's a big deal to play with you." Li Chen said with a smile. "Then how am I going to write it?" "What to write?" "Sir said he wanted us to write about my father." "Oh, this?" It turns out that this is the case, and the most annoying thing in elementary school is writing this kind of composition.

However, this kind of essay also helps the child to understand his parents, so he also added this kind of "My Father", "My Mother", "My Ambition" and other essay titles to the primary school curriculum.

"However, I heard from my classmates in elementary school that their father is very busy. But the most time you spend is playing with us. My mother also said that you usually deal with half a day's official business at most, and then you are idle."

"That's not the case, the master seems to be idle at the moment, but there are a lot of things to do", Li Chen is indeed more leisurely at present, the prime ministers are busy with the development of the New World, he still throws problems to them from time to time, and the officials under him also hold meetings all day long, only he, the emperor, seems to be the most idle.

After discussing with the prime minister, the prime minister will deal with all major matters, and other small matters will be discussed and handled by the prime minister. He usually seems to be fine except for playing with the children for a while and fulfilling the duties of a good father.

"Liu'er, Ye is actually very busy, but Ye can't be as busy as them." We often see some CEOs who seem to be idle, and the employees are busy to death, but they are leisurely. But they receive the most salary, and those who do it to death or live receive the least.

That's not the way things go, though. Take his example to illustrate, he seems to be leisurely, he doesn't play with children, he just talks to a few concubines, or he reads a book, is in a daze, as if he has nothing to do, in fact, he is thinking about things.

When he was in a daze, he was thinking about a lot of questions, he silently observed Datang society and thought about the future of Datang. When reading a book, too. Look at the ancient books, look at the books that have been handed down from the heavens, the books of the Celestial People, or the books of the Greek era translated by the Celestial People.

In his position, every move involves the fate of millions of people in Datang and the future national fortune of Datang, so he has to be cautious, very cautious. If he is like an ordinary person, bothering with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea all day long, how can he have time to think about these issues and pat his head to decide?

The more superior the person, the more so. Like some big bosses, don't look at them at banquets all day long, in fact, they are also looking for business opportunities and opportunities to cooperate with people. It's not what we think, it's just going to the banquet to play, and taking care of the girl or something. Of course, there are people who have such a purpose.

"Do you understand? Ye is not idle all day, if he learns from those people and is busy all day long, who will take the helm for the future of Datang? Like today, I almost forgot about a big thing.'" "What's the matter, is it serious?" "It's not serious when you think about it, you go play." It's good to worry about this.'"

"Today, we're going to discuss the development of the Philippines and the creation of a new navy." A few days ago, after a long day of discussion, I was supposed to discuss the affairs of the Philippines, but the result was an impromptu discussion about the eastward boom that arose among the people because of the stimulus of the New World.

Confused by the richness of the New World, many people think that as long as they go all the way east, they can get to the New World, and then they will grab money. Not to mention those wealthy businessmen, the big families are trying to find ways to go to sea, and even the people are crazy, first there were advertisements for raising funds in newspapers.

Later, it appeared that if someone wanted to open a small broken ship, he would go to the New World, as if it was as easy as going to the New World to grab money, which was next door to his house or at the entrance of his house to buy things. Don't laugh at them for being stupid, there are also wealthy businessmen, who can't figure out the difference between inland rivers and oceans, and they want to go to the New World when they open a boat that runs in the river.

Fortunately, the imperial court immediately issued a policy prohibiting anyone from traveling to the New World without permission, and only allowed the two trading companies to go by ship. Then these two trading companies will issue shares to the public for the people to buy.

For several days in a row, the three major newspapers in Chang'an, as well as the self-published newspapers in various places, reported on the dangers of going to the New World and explained the benefits of buying stocks, so that this eastward trend among the people has cooled down a little.

Today, Li Chen put forward the matter of fighting the Philippines, and he pointed out the importance of the Philippines, which is just located at the end of the North Equatorial Current, and can be built there into a product distribution center. In the future, people and goods that go to the New World, as well as goods from the New World, will be concentrated there.

"The Philippines, those people must be punished, this matter is still on the development of the new continent." , Li Chen's words were murderous, "The Philippines will become a new way for my Datang."

The Philippines is quite prosperous because of its geographical location, attracting a considerable number of Chinese immigrants.

In addition to the Chinese, the most local goods are Chinese, so much so that the Mexicans call the Spanish galleon, called the "Chinese ship", and also think that the Philippines was a province of China at that time, a province of the Ming Dynasty. Li Chen is only restoring the situation at that time now.

"The local natives don't know the king, they are not afraid of my Tang Tianwei, and they suddenly move troops, hurting the heavens and peace, and the so-called ignorant ones are not guilty, so they should send the advance minister to the local area to preach and appease them, and subdue them with virtue, so that they can remember the grace of the saint. Don't bother me anymore.'"

As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, a cold scene appeared. No one answered Li Chen's words, because all the ministers were thinking, what does this Philippines mean? Could it be that I don't read enough books, don't tell the source, and can't even understand the meaning? After a while, Wei Cong reacted first and said.

"Yes, the local natives, who have not been favored by the emperor for a long time, are suddenly severely punished, and I am afraid that I will not accept it. It is the way of a saint to cherish it with virtue and to educate it." , Ling Fox, shaking his head and talking too.

"Punish one or two soldiers, show the local natives my Tang Dynasty heroism, make them awe-inspired, and dare not face my Tang Dynasty." Cui Xuan said, "Nowadays, Datang spends a lot of money every year, and I don't understand the local climate and terrain.

Wei Cong's words made Li Chen frown, and Ling Fox said the same, Cui Xuan's words, although they also made Li Chen unhappy, but finally he said something more connotative, Datang is not familiar with the Philippines.

"Sage, the minister also thinks that the use of troops in the Philippines, and don't be in a hurry, the local Philippines, not only is not familiar with the terrain, but according to the information obtained, the local area is very hot, lest the miasma and plague will make my Tang Dynasty soldiers, not because of the war, and a large number of casualties." ，

Du Mu also objected, and then several prime ministers spoke, Zheng Lang thought that only one state and a few counties were needed, and he was not in a hurry to develop the local area for a while, Li Chen listened quietly, although he was displeased with them to dissuade himself from using troops in the Philippines, but he did not show it.

"Ministers, you have a point. But to develop the Philippines, it is imperative." Li Chen's words made the prime minister feel that he had just wasted his saliva, and after talking for a long time, he still had to fight Ah.

"Of course, if you are not in a hurry, you can consolidate one place first, and then gradually expand. As for the worries of your ministers, it is not insurmountable.

"Cost? It's not a problem, you can let the slave catcher team go, the Philippine monkeys, although lazy and short and powerless, but as long as they are managed properly, they are not impossible to drive. Even if the income of slaves is not enough to cover the local expenses for development.'"

"You can also set up plantations, and many of the crops brought back by the expedition can only be planted in the tropics, and can be used as experiments in the Philippines. In particular, the local climate is suitable for planting Champa rice, and if it is properly developed, it will be where my Datang granary is."

"Geography and climate problems, slowly overcome, first develop a port, slowly familiarize yourself with the local climate, plague? After all these years of vigorous development of medicine, can't even a small plague be overcome?'

Li Chen refuted the reasons for the opposite of the prime minister one by one, and the Philippines was decided, which made the prime minister very strange.

It's not strange that it's settled, although Li Chen will discuss it with them, but there are many things, it's useless for them to object, Li Chen has decided, and they can only comply.

They are strange, Li Chen sent troops to the Philippines, ostensibly for the local rich land and minerals, as well as as as a base for the development of the New World, but when talking about the local natives, there is always a trace of ruthlessness and hatred. Call them monkeys? Even if it was the Cypriot Ethnic Alliance Army or the Tubo people, Li Chen never called them monkeys.

Why Li Chen is called a Filipino monkey, the Tang people don't know, but I think readers know. There have been too many incidents in the local area, which have caused countless Chinese to bleed in the local area. Although the main messengers behind it are the Spaniards, it is these indigenous Filipinos who really do it.

It's a pity that he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, if he tries to travel to the Ming Dynasty, he must give the local white pigs and monkeys a little color. Even, including those natives in Nanyang, there is no way to find their descendants, so let their ancestors pay their debts for them.

Although it is said that individuals make their own business, Nobita's work is Tinker Bell, Li Chen's actions seem to be somewhat implicated. But if the children and grandchildren create evil, of course, they can also be counted on the heads of the ancestors, and whoever let you give birth to that kind of offspring.

However, it is a pity to kill them all. Although these natives are lazy, stupid, and powerless, short and bad, the Tang Dynasty has some experience in using slaves to develop mines and build roads over the years. In management, there has been a lot of progress. No matter how lazy or stupid you are, you have a way to train it.

After deciding that they would use troops against the Philippines, the prime ministers put aside Li Chen's hatred for the Philippines for the time being, and began to discuss what to do.

First of all, it's funding, it's going to be a headache again, it's not a headache where the money comes from, Li Chengtai brought back gold from the New World, just right, it can be used as military expenses. Datang has begun to fully implement the three grades of gold, silver and copper. The gold only needs to be re-forged and can be used as circulating funds.

It's just that this money has been almost divided, and most of it has been used for various applications. With this money, many of the previously planned developments can be put on the agenda. As a result, Li Chen made it like this, and he had to plan again.

"First of all, the navy has to be expanded." , another headache, Li Chen first proposed that the navy should be expanded. Since the Philippines is to be developed, it is bound to multiply overseas activities, and the existing naval vessels of Datang are simply not enough to cope with various future operations.

At the moment there are only eight warships in the Navy. Li Chen temporarily divided the warship into three classes, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. One battleship, two cruisers, the other five were destroyers.

The original Mingzhou-class was officially positioned as a cruiser, which also made the cruiser Mingming set a rule, and in the future, the cruiser would be named after the state class, and the battleship would be the first class. The destroyers, which are the most numerous and versatile, are casual, which are used to deal with pirates and detect smuggling ships.

The number is so small that it is impossible to shoulder the responsibility of defending the Datang Sea Frontier. Just after years of experiments and corrections, Datang has become a warship with high applicability, and it is just time to expand production.

In fact, without the Philippines, Li Chen is considering expanding the navy, although at present, Datang has no opponents at sea, but it can't be defenseless at all. Moreover, with the prosperity of maritime trade, there are more and more pirates, and in any era and place, there is always a shortage of people who want to get people without fishing.

Not only pirates, more troublesome, worse is the country, some small countries in the South China Sea, Datang to Tianfang, Africa, will anchor many small countries, with the increasing trade volume of Datang, it seems that they are greedy, more and more Datang merchant ships are being troubled. Even, some local countries have water armies, not to mention eating and taking cards, and some people are trying to change their roles.

From a local national troll, to a pirate. Luckily, their ship is really... Sorry, correction, their sampan is really not fast enough and can't carry too many people, so it's fine.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to expand the navy, this is not an infantry army, when the equipment is obtained, it can be formed after half a year of hasty training. The navy is not so fast, the only fortunate thing is that Li Chen began to recruit students a large number of years ago, and constantly expanded the number of graduates of the naval school. So, just wait for the ship to be in place and the weapons to be in place, and it can come in handy right away.

"It just so happens that the ship that was prepared a few years ago can now come in handy, so let's use it as a troop carrier." , Li Chen said with a smile. Let these prime ministers be entangled for a while, and you are ready for your feelings. And when he heard about this, Li Chengtai took the initiative to ask for his life after resting for a long time.
